The Palm Springs weather forecast looks great next week. Yea! On our last few trips, we've had "unseasonable" weather. We're spending two nights in Desert Hot Springs, then three nights in Palm Springs.
We've done this trip many times and don't seem to get tired of doing the same things. The big attraction in DHS (other than Cabot's Pueblo Museum) is some of the best hot mineral water in the world.
In Palm Springs, we'll be at a quiet old inn where we stayed once before. It had pretty rooms and a warm pool; hopefully it still does. Our favorite place for many years (The Andalusian, now called The Lucille) changed ownership and just isn't our cup of tea anymore. But downtown Palm Springs stays the same, with good restaurants, shopping and crazy Village Fest on Thursday night, the legacy of Mayor Sonny Bono.
There are beautiful hikes in the Coachella Valley to different palm oases and waterfalls. We've done most of them over the years, also a celebrity house tour which was a blast.
But something more adventuresome planned this time-- a three hour jeep tour featuring an up-close and personal look at the San Andreas fault. That will be on Wednesday, the day after the election. Geology surely helps to put things into perspective.
Here's a video of the jeep tour highlights from a few years back.
